Beaded Sash; done in Thunder and Lightning Motif; Bilateral Asymmetry Technique - Stain Glass effect held up to light. (Found on eBay at 25-50% of true value; was in a cigar box under table at flea market).

beads were imported and used for trade; Porcupine quills predated
beads, and began the fade into obscurity for daily use once beads
were readily available. |
